Well done book! I thought I’d followed this case quite closely, but there was lots I missed. A truly inspiring look at the law enforcement work behind the bust, the very dedicated rescue workers who gave their all to the dogs, and the tenacious survivors themselves, who taught so many humans what forgiveness looks like. Gorant deserves high praise for this work, it is incredibly well written.
